Hot water went out but they opened another shower block quickly. Our only problem was the water faucet leaked. But due to an empty space veside us, we used another. Quite close to the Badlands park. Be sure you get supplies before entering the area. Only one high priced convenience store up the road in Interior and the office shop for miles around.

Very nice KOA! Stayed three nights while touring badlands/Wall drug. Level & shaded pull thru for 5thwheel. Facilities clean. Very friendly owners and staff. Pool ice Cold, area around pool could use better landscaping& detailed cleaning. Great place to stay and relax after touring Badlands, we will be back.

We had a great time here. Everyone was so friendly and really went above and beyond in making us comfortable.

Excellent campground! It was so nice and quiet in spite of several families with children. Great check=in, nice pool and they had cooked food to go should I not want to cook dinner - that was a great attraction.

loved everything about this KOA but there was a very big fly problem there. hard to sit out and cook outside or eat out side. such a shame!

Sep 10, 2015

This was a nice, quiet and well setup KOA, it is a little bit hard to find but well worth it.

We were pleasantly surprised to find this gem of a campground just outside the Badlands. Couldn't recommend it more!!

The site that we had was great. But would have liked a longer one. Only 2 really long site and those were good for satalite.

Very nice campground, close to badlands. Well taken care of. A special thank you to Bob who went out of his way to give us a hand!

I checked in but did not stay.. it was 103 - 107 degrees and I travel with an old dog and no AC in my camper. so headed to Mt Rushmore where it was cooler. But it seemed like it would be nice. there was a pool and hose down for dogs....

What an excellent stay! Bob and Karen were the best hosts in all the KOA's we've ever stayed in. They went above and beyond when my wife cut the artery in her arm. They came to her aid quickly and helped get the blood stopped. Besides the drama, the location is wonderful and the property was well taken care of and maintained. The best part of the stay was the breakfasts. Will come back again!

Sep 08, 2015

Flies were horrible. An active spraying program is needed.

Sep 08, 2015

The sites were real level. The staff very Friendly.

Sep 08, 2015

Very clean and well maintained. Nice owner and employees

Sep 08, 2015

Would like a ramp into the pool instead of just ladders.

Sep 08, 2015

Nice facility though too pricey!

Sep 08, 2015

The campground was just okay....the worst thing was that the whole time we couldn't stay outside because it smelled like human feces. Turned out we were put close to their settling pond. Wasn't worth the money we spent.

Sep 07, 2015

Great stay.

Sep 07, 2015

Very friendly staff and wide, level sites. Great pool too for cooling off!

One of the few places in the Badlands where there are a few trees. The hosts were very welcoming and the facilities were clean and together. Would return to this campground for sure

Sep 05, 2015

Very nice campground. The hosts are very cordial. We heard about this campground from campers in Buffalo, WY who told us what a nice campground it is. They were right; we enjoyed our visit and will return. We love the pet playground and pet wash.

Lovely owners. Enjoyed the convenience of the " cookout shack" on site.

Sep 04, 2015

A bit far from the higway but very close from the Badlands Nat park

Sep 03, 2015

Awesome campground with the Badlands land sculptures visible all around, and right on the river. The Indian tacos for dinner were heavenly, same w/breakfast egg, sausage cheese muffins, all fresh cooked to order by the new owner, who lives right by the office! They are doing things right and we will go back!

Sep 03, 2015

Clean restrooms and nice location. Friendly hiss. Roads too narrow and spots too close together to get RV with toad out of spot without scraping against trees. Really did NOT appreciate being nickle and dimed for amenities such as mini-golf, given what we already were paying nightly.

Sep 03, 2015

No cell reception but great WiFi. Lots of flies and mosquitos, close to National park.

Sep 02, 2015

Nice facilities.

Sep 02, 2015

Staff very helpful and friendly! CG was very clean and organized. The only complaint I have was that the cable had only about 12 stations, however they did carry FOX NEWS! Too many trees for satellite. We stayed 5 nights in 38ft 5th Wheel.

Sep 02, 2015

Nice campground except there were two cats roaming around and we have dogs that don't go for cats around. Plus I smelled cat urine under my RV.
